Umkhuleko KaHabhakhukhi
1 Umkhuleko kaHabhakhukhi umphrofethi. NgeShigiyonothi.
2 Thixo, ngizwile ngodumo lwakho;
ngiyazesaba izenzo zakho, awu Thixo.
Zivuselele ensukwini zethu,
yenza zazakale esikhathini sethu;
ekuthukutheleni khumbula isihawu.
3 UNkulunkulu wavela eThemani,
oNgcwele wavela eNtabeni iPharani.
Inkazimulo yakhe yasibekela amazulu
lokudunyiswa kwakhe kwagcwala umhlaba wonke.
4 Ubucwazicwazi bakhe babunjengokuphuma kwelanga;
imisebe yaphazima esandleni sakhe
lapho amandla akhe ayefihlwe khona.
5 Isifo sahamba phambi kwakhe,
umkhuhlane walandela amanyathelo akhe.
6 Wasukuma, wanyikinya umhlaba;
wakhangela, waqhaqhazelisa izizwe.
Izintaba zasendulo zabhidlika
lamaqaqa akudala adilika.
Izindlela zakhe ngezanini lanini.
7 Ngabona amathente aseKhushani ephakathi kosizi,
lezindawo zokuhlala zaseMidiyani zisebuhlungwini.
8 Awu Thixo, imifula wawuyithukuthelele na?
Ulaka lwakho lwavuthela izifula na?
Ulwandle wawuluthukuthelele na
lapho ugade amabhiza akho
lezinqola zakho zempi ezinqobayo?
9 Idandili lakho ulembule,
ufune imitshoko eminengi.
Uqhekeze umhlaba ngemifula;
10 izintaba zakubona zajanqula,
izikhukhula zamanzi zedlula,
ulwandle lwahlokoma,
lwaphakamisela amagagasi alo phezulu.
11 Ilanga lenyanga kwema mpo emazulwini
ekubenyezeleni kwemitshoko yakho entwezayo,
ekuphazimeni kwemitshoko yakho ecazimulayo.
12 Wanyathela umhlaba ngolaka,
wabhula izizwe ngentukuthelo.
13 Waphuma ukuba ukhulule abantu bakho,
ukuba usindise ogcotshiweyo wakho.
Umkhokheli welizwe lobubi umchobozile,
wamebula kusukela ekhanda kusiya enyaweni.
14 Umhlabe ikhanda ngomkhonto wakhe
lapho amabutho akhe ephume ngesiqubu ukuba asihlakaze,
ethokoza kungani asezakudla
abahluphekayo abebecatshile.
15 Wanyathela ulwandle ngamabhiza akho,
uqubula amanzi amanengi.
16 Ngezwa, inhliziyo yami yatshaya,
izindebe zami zabikizeliswa ngumsindo;
amathambo ami angenwa yikubola,
imilenze yami yaqhaqhazela.
Kodwa ngizalindela ngesineke usuku lomonakalo
ukuba lufike esizweni esihlasela esethu.
17 Lanxa isihlahla somkhiwa singanunkuli
lamavini engekho emivinini;
lanxa ama-oliva engathelanga,
lamasimu engabanga lokudla,
lanxa kungelazimvu esibayeni
lenkomo zingekho ezibayeni,
18 kodwa ngizathokoza kuThixo,
ngizajabula kuNkulunkulu uMsindisi wami.
19 UThixo Wobukhosi ungamandla ami;
wenza inyawo zami zibe njengezempala,
ungenza ngihambe ezindaweni eziphakemeyo.
Ngeyomqondisi womculo. Ezigincini zami.
